Application Fees

No fee cap in Ohio – Ohio law does not regulate rental application or holding fees therefore landlords can set any amount they want.

Get it in writing

Before paying, applicants should receive a written statement explaining the following:

  1. The nature of the fee (application or credit check)
  2. Conditions under which it may be refunded

Receipts Required

Landlords should provide itemized receipts showing what the rental application fee covers.
